Blaze of splendour and museum spat over Tutankhamun at the 02

One of the most talked about exhibitions of the year, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, opens tomorrow in a blaze of gloriously preserved artefacts.

Ontario? Today... looking at similar changes suggested by Ralph and crew.
Quebec? Already has them...

Thanks a second time... friends. Posted 21/02/08 at 1:18 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
